Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })George and Lynne was a British comic strip that ran in The Sun newspaper from 1976 to 2010. It was written by Conrad Frost and illustrated by John M. Burns (1976–1982) and Josep Gual (1982–2010).The strip focused on the titular married couple, George and Lynne Newman, who lived in a nice house in the suburbs of south west London. George was the breadwinner, working in what appeared to be property law (although his exact job was never mentioned), and Lynne spent her days shopping, socialising and sunbathing. The couple had no children and enjoyed a life of holidays, fine dinners and incredibly bad jokes, mostly by Lynne. Lynne had a relaxed attitude to nudity and was frequently shown topless or naked, which George (and many of The Sun's readers) did not mind at all.Supporting characters included George and Lynne's best friends, Sammy and 'Mantha; and a group of associates who usually coupled up with partners who shared the same first letter of their names.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Whilst most strips featured a simple joke, the one and only ongoing Story Arc took place over five months in 2001 to mark the strip's 25th anniversary. George had an affair with a woman he met over the Internet, and got involved with gangsters, blackmail and Lynne retaliating with an old flame. After almost losing each other for good, George and Lynne realised how much they meant to each other and the status quo was resumed. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |
| George and Lynne (Comic Strip) / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Multiple strips feature George and other males having their focus caught by attractive women (to their wives/girlfriends' annoyance), with some others featuring men getting in peeks at Lynne. | |

Immediate Self-Contradiction | |
| George and Lynne (Comic Strip) / int_23330a99 | comment |
Immediate Self-Contradiction: In one strip, George and Sammy complain that their gym membership fees have gone up again, saying that they should refuse to pay. Once they enter the gym, they find themselves surrounded by attractive women in gym outfits, and immediately decide that it's "worth every penny". | |

Naked People Trapped Outside: In one strip, Lynne tells George she was locked outside wearing only a towel. George asks if she got help, and she replies she did - from the police, postman, fire brigade and ambulance. It's implied they all stopped to help her and admire her figure. | |

Flirtatious Smack on the Ass: In one strip, Lynne wears some skintight shorts, and worries that they might be too short. George assures her that they're perfect, and that the issue is that her legs are too long - while playfully swatting her backside. | |

Shameless Fanservice Girl | |
| George and Lynne (Comic Strip) / int_6563aeb6 | comment |
Shameless Fanservice Girl: Lynne, big time. She was very confident in her body and was seen without clothes almost as much as she was with them (and said clothes were usually tight, skimpy, or even see-through). She wasn't above using her figure to get what she wanted, either. There's also the barmaid at the Ferryman, a stunning blonde whose outfit shows off her chest, midriff and legs. | |

Gilligan Cut: When Lynne tells a friend that George needs a hobby, the friend tells her that she teaches a body-painting class, with herself as the subject (something George definitely looks interested in). The final panel shows Lynne forcing George to take up stamp collecting instead. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| George and Lynne (Comic Strip) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: In one strip, Lynne writes in her diary about how she saw a "handsome hunk with a great six pack", but ignored him, as there's only one guy for her. George, reading over her shoulder, thinks she's referring to him. Lynne then writes "It's just a shame Angelina got to Brad first." In another story, George spots a "new couple" across the street. When Lynne joins him at the window, she sees that the "very nice pair" he was referring to belongs to a buxom redhead. While at a topless beach, the titular duo spot a famous football player and his glamourous girlfriend. George remarks "Yes, they're a great pair, always in the papers". He then adds, "Oh, and so is he, of course!" to Lynne's annoyance. | |

Selective Obliviousness: While Lynne is usually well aware of how easily she can catch the eyes of males, one short shows her as being unable to understand why the teenage paperboy always knocks on the door so he can give her the paper personally. She ponders this while wearing a see-through negligee, with George's wry smile showing that he knows exactly why the paperboy does it. | |
